The ReAccelerator ReA3 is a worldwide unique, state-of-the-art linear accelerator for rare isotope beams. Beams of rare isotopes are produced and separated in-flight at the NSCL Coupled Cyclotron Facility and subsequently stopped in a linear gas cell. The rare isotopes are then continuously extracted as 1+ ions and transported into a beam cooler and buncher. Ion pulses provided by this device are then transported to a charge breeder based on an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) where they are captured in flight. The 1+ ions are ionized to a charge state suitable for acceleration in the superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) ReA3 linac, extracted in a pulsed mode and mass analyzed. The extracted beam is pre-bunched before injection into the RFQ and SRF linac, both operating at frequency of 80.5 MHz, and then accelerated to energies from 300 keV/u up to 6 MeV/u, depending on the charge-to-mass ratio of the ion. Stable isotopes can alternatively also be injected into the linac from the EBIT in off-line mode (by ionization of residual gas) or from external off-line ion sources. This contribution will focus on the methodology, properties and techniques used to accelerate and control low intensity rare isotope beams. Results obtained during the preparation of various experiments using the ReA facility, including those with the rare ions 46Ar and 37,46,47K will also be presented. | ||

TUPLR063 | IMPACT Model for ReA and its Benchmark with DYNAC | 601 |
|
||
Funding: * Work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. PHY-11-02511 ** Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 Abstract New online model for ReAccelerator 3 (ReA3) has been developed for actual beam tunings using IMPACT, which is one of famous particle tracking codes in accelerator field. DYNAC model was used for ReA3 optics calculation. However it basically can calculate symmetric cavity, not axisymmetric ones such as super-conductive Quarter-Wave Resonators (QWRs), which are installed in ReA3. This means that it is difficult to effectively tune beams at present situation. In order to handle beams at ReA3, a new alternative and more precise model of IMPACT is under development, which would be acceptable to actual beam operation. This paper reports benchmarked results of IMPACT and DYNAC model for ReA3 acceleration line just after RFQ exit to a transport line with symmetric cavity as a first step before more precise simulation including non-axisymmetric cavity and RFQ calculation. |

TUPLR069 | Simulation Study on the Beam Loss Mitigation in the 1st Arc Section of FRIB Driver Linac | 613 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. The Facility of Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University is now under construction toward user operation in year 2020. Charge-state transition of accelerating ions occurs in the beam line due to interaction with the residual gas. Since this exchange changes charge to mass ratio of the ions, the ion orbit is distorted especially in an arc section with the ion potentially hitting the vacuum pipe. This will generate outgassing from the beamline pipe. Moreover, they become a seed of further charge-state exchanges. Therefore, a collimation of charge exchanged ions is necessary to prevent this feedback cycle. In this presentation, the results of a simulation study on charge exchange reaction in the 1st arc section of FRIB and optimization of collimator position are presented. |

WE2A02 | FRIB Cryomodule Design and Production | 673 |
|
||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), under con-struction at Michigan State University, will utilize a driver linac to accelerate stable ion beams from protons to ura-nium up to energies of >200 MeV per nucleon with a beam power of up to 400 kW. Superconducting technology is widely used in the FRIB project, including the ion sources, linac, and experiment facilities. The FRIB linac consists of 48 cryomodules containing a total of 332 superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) resonators and 69 superconducting solenoids. We report on the design and the construction of FRIB cryomodules. |

THPLR045 | Operation Mode and Machine State Control for FRIB Driver Linac Operation | 956 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 FRIB is a heavy ion linac facility to accelerate all stable ions up to 200 MeV/u with the beam power of 400 kW under construction at Michigan State University. It is required for FRIB driver linac to support various modes of operation with different ion species, charge states, beam energy and so on to meet requirements from experiments. In this paper, we describe overall design of operation modes, machine states, and software to manage transitions of those mitigating the risk of machine damage in FRIB. |

THPLR046 | FRIB Fast Machine Protection System: Engineering for Distributed Fault Monitoring System and Light Speed Response | 959 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a high-power, heavy ion facility, can accelerate beam up to 400 kW power with kinetic energy ≥ 200 MeV/u. Its fast protection system is required to detect failure and remove beam within 35 μs to prevent damage to equipment. The fast protection system collects OK/NOK inputs from hundreds of devices, such as low level RF controllers, beam loss monitors, and beam current monitors, which are distributed over 200 m. The engineering challenge here is to design a distributed control system to collect status from these devices and send out the mitigation signals within 10 μS timing budget and also rearm for the next pulse for 100 Hz beam (10 mS). This paper describes an engineering solution with a master-slave structure adopted in FRIB. Details will be covered from system architecture to FPGA hardware platform design and from communication protocols to physical interface definition. The response time of ~9.6μS from OK/NOK inputs to mitigation outputs is reached when query method is used to poll the status. A new approach is outlined to use bi-direction loop structure for the slave chain and use streaming mode for data collection from slave to master, ~3μS response time are expected from this engineering optimization. |
